Overview
Fukiage Roten-no-yu is one of the great secrets of Hokkaido. Located on Mt. Tokachidake in the middle of the woods, this natural hot spring bathing spot is not only free, but also open 24 hours a day.
The parking lot is easy to miss, so keep your eyes peeled. From the parking lot (30x spaces), the baths are a mere 3 minute walk along a narrow path.
As Fukiage is not managed by any company, the bath can be used by anyone at anytime.
The baths are mix-gendered, so shy bathers may wish to bring along a bathing suit. There are no changing rooms so come prepared to strip down in the snow.
Night bathers should also bring a flashlight as there is no artificial lighting, however, the moon and stars provide ample light for maneuvering around the baths. Views of the stars are stunning.
